52 Best Fish And Chip Puns
Gallery
Fish and chips, the match made in takeaway heaven, and one which is British to its core.
In the early 1800's the tradition of eating fish coated with flour and fried in oil was invented in England, and later in 1860 the first chips were fried at a market in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
When fish and chips came together as a fully-fledged meal, it's origins were a mystery, with the north and the south of the country claiming to have got there first.
Whoever first opened the first fish and chip shop aside, this tasty combination of food attracted some famous fans, among them Charles Dickens who made reference to the technique of frying fish in this way in his classic novel, Oliver Twist.
Commercial fishing techniques increasing the availability and lowering the cost of fish, saw demand soar, and fish and chips has been a firm favorite on dinner tables ever since.
With this long history of enjoying battered treats and mushy peas, comes an equally long line in fish and chips humor. The wordplay game is strong when it comes to fish and fried potato humor, so we hope you're ready to laugh.
Our round-up includes fish puns, with an extra helping of scampi, and a sprinkle of salt for flavor.
